Vista will be an interesting experience - I would wait until Windows 7
is out. This isn't an endorsement of W7, though if you have a choice,
get a machine that can be upgraded to XP.
If you get a Vista machine, I would suggest new peripherals, as many
perfectly good peripherals do not have Vista driver support.
I personally wouldn't - even though I have a Vista laptop I bought for
learning purposes. There is a reason that most of the pros don't adopt
Vista into the professional environment. And that is a professional
opinion.
